* Implement suggestion from Lawrence Kesteloot in PR#280, to change theGuido van Rossum2000-04-101-6/+7

This means that if you pass in an explicit empty list, it will read stdin instead of defaulting to sys.argv[1:]. This fixes a buglet in the test script (when called with options but without files, it chokes when it tries to interpret the options as files). Lawrence adds: "I suspect that this is a safe change, because I can't imagine someone actively passing in an empty list when they want sys.argv used." I agree.

the writing of filters. Typical use is: import fileinput for line in fileinput.input(): process(line) This iterates over the lines of all files listed in sys.argv[1:], defaulting to sys.stdin if the list is empty or when a filename is '-'. There is also an option to use this to direct the output back to the input files.
